"STEM Club was so much more than just a 'special interest' group for me. It was a place to meet new friends, gain support, and generate ideas. I had been trying to join STEM Club since early 2020, but due to the pandemic, it wasn't active until the Fall 2021 semester. I'm so grateful I was able to join in my last year at HCC. In a way, that made it even more special. It was worth the wait."

"As a nontraditional student, my past experiences with higher education were short-lived, unsuccessful, and directionless. The connections that I've fostered with my professors and advisors have ultimately led to my path at HCC becoming larger than life. I owe all of my successes to them, because they helped me recognize and honor the potential I always knew I had."
